CoC first playthrough, where is the ending choice & point of no return?

[HGWhiskeyJack]

It's my first playthrough, so I am going through CoC. I've kept things somewhat spoiler free, but I know there are 4 endings, and I feel very neutral about my choice lol.

I've just beaten Metatron. After this I had an interaction, a bunch of characters showed up, and I was presented with 3 choices. I've done (nearly) every side mission aside from a gate I can't access (I am level 79, I think it requires level 80).

Is this the point where I am choosing the ending to the game?

Also I want to fight the end game Bosses Demi-Fiend and Masakado. If this choice does decide the ending, do I still have freedom to travel around and do those quests after? (I have no idea what's after this, or even if there's another zone etc)

Yes. Top choice - Law alignment, bottom choice - Chaos alignment, middle choice - Neutral.

That gate you're talking about contains the final sidequest necessary to unlock True Neutral ending. So if you're aiming for this one, you must complete said sidequest before making a choice.

And yes, you can tie up all your loose ends after the choice - there's a small dungeon before you confront the final boss.

You got it wrong. Middle choice is Chaos, bottom choice is Neutral.

EDIT: Note that if you're going for superbosses later, it's simply more efficient to get the Chaos ending first IF your alignment is Chaos as well. You said you're spoiler free so I won't say the reason unless you ask me OP.
